Spurred by the 2010 earthquake in their homeland, Haitian band Lakou Mizik creates music to preserve and celebrate its cultural heritage. The band performs tonight at Waterfront Park as part of the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, sharing a bill with Brooklyn-based group Antibalas and the Burlington world-music-influenced ensemble Barika.

Lakou Mizik is one of the most-recent acts signed to the Charlotte-based world-music label Cumbancha. Hear the band's music and an interview with guitarist Steeve Valcourt in this video:
